I saw this woodpecker but twice, both times at the Cocoa Research
Station. A female taken from a dead tree in the cocoa may have been
just finishing nesting activities, judging from the size of the
ova. A pair seen feeding on the ground near a brush pile in
secondary forest was collected. The stomachs contained ants.

_=Dendrocopos canicapillus aurantiiventris=_ (Salvadori): Oriental Pygmy
Woodpecker.--_Specimens_, 2: Cocoa Research Station: sex?, July 22,
1962, MCT 2635; [Male] testis 3 x 2 mm., 23.5 gm., molting, August 25,
1962, MCT 2807.

On July 22 four individuals were feeding on dead trees in the
cocoa. They made a _cheep cheep_ sound, rattling calls, and
drummed. On August 25, 1962, two were feeding in dead trees in the
cocoa. The testes of specimen MCT 2807 were probably regressing
since it was beginning the molt.

Woodpecker.--_Specimens_, 2: Cocoa Research Station: [Female], 31.7 gm.,
July 7, 1962, MCT 2607; [Male], May 28, 1963, ADG 115.

Compared with _M. tukki_, this species was comparatively rare. I
saw two on July 7 working in a living tree some 15 feet above the
ground. The tree was only 20 feet high and had dense foliage. The
birds gave a rattling call note of about two seconds duration; it
sounded like a typical woodpecker call. The single call note can be
rendered _cheet_. They were also heard drumming, but only softly.
The stomachs contained ants, which probably are what the two
woodpeckers were feeding on in the green tree.

This was the most common woodpecker at the Co
